My Kingdom for a Fly Swatter!


The only good fly is a dead fly. They hang out in all sorts of nastiness, from the carcasses of dead animals to Dumpsters to feces, then they land on you or your food. Try to enjoy lunch in a fast food restaurant on a hot summer day. Chances are you'll have to shoo flies away from of your food. Walk into any stable anywhere, and you'll be greeted by hundreds if not thousands of buzzing stable flies. There are numerous fly species: house flies, little house flies, face flies, black flies, blue bottle flies, carrion flies, black flies, green bottle flies, (deep breath), cheese skippers, flesh flies, blow flies, black blow flies, sand flies, cluster flies and many many more. Some flies suck blood (black flies), and others are scavengers. Filth flies (scavengers) have nasty habits that make them efficient vectors of sickness and disease. Pathogenic organisms are picked up by flies from garbage, sewage, and other sources of filth and then transferred to humans. Filth flies are known to spread organisms that cause typhoid, paratyphoid, dysentery, infantile diarrhea, cholera, pinworm, tapeworm and other diseases.

Maxforce Fly Granular Fly Bait is an excellent product for controlling flies around Dumpsters located adjacent to restaurants and supermarkets or processing plants. Maxforce Fly Spot Bait is labeled for horse stables. It is a liquid spray that can be applied to stable walls without evacuating horses. This is the product to use if you want to give your horses some long term relief from those annoying, ubiquitous flying creatures.
